It's gotten a bit chilly here in the desert; even some frost! Today is a picture postcard kind of day with snow in the closer mountains. It rained last night, which is great for this region. I started making myself some fingerless mitts yesterday and hope to be done by Saturday when we have to stand outside in line for a movie at the film festival. Why buy something when you can stress yourself out trying to make it, right?

Wishing everyone a safe, happy New Year's Eve. We're looking forward to a good and healthy new year.

Christmakkuh. Well, not really but I'm doing my best. I love lights and used to have them up all year on the bushes in our driveway island in Seattle. Here in the desert it just doesn't seem like December when the sun is out every day. We had a couple of days of clouds and drizzle but it's still pretty warm. So in this gated community, I'm doing the best I can.
